Nutrition tip for student-athletes headed back to school 🏫!
🍳Eat breakfast daily + 2nd breakfast at school (apple + almonds).
🥪School lunch is NOT adequate to fuel your entire day!
🍌Pack fruit, applesauce packets, pretzels, 100% fruit bar, Greek yogurt cup, trail mix, protein bars.
⏰Grab some carbs + protein before and after workouts.
🚨Do not leave home without your snacks or WATER bottle!!
Seeing energy drinks at the lunch table of 7th graders is beyond concerning. No 7th grader let alone kid < 16 YO should be using energy drinks or pre-workouts...
-As I have said in many presentations, videos, and articles… “using a pre workout for energy is like rearranging furniture on a sinking 🚢 !”
If you need a pre-workout for “energy” you likely aren’t:
❌Eating enough quality carb or protein
❌Hydrating or drinking sufficient fluid
❌Getting your 7-9 hours of sleep
❌Eating enough overall calories to support training & recovery demands
Consuming the level of caffeine ( 120-300 mg +) in pre-workouts, energy drinks like:
✖️Celsius
✖️Bang
✖️C4
✖️Red bull
✖️Prime
On a regular basis is extremely harmful to your health.
Too much caffeine (> 200+ mg ) in one dose or in a short period of time can lead to:
❌Heart palpations
❌Anxiety & mood disorders
❌Poor appetite = inability to consume enough kcal
❌Depression & poor sleep (caffeine has a 6 hour half life and it will still be in your system at bed time if you consume in the afternoon/evening)
Pre-workouts/caffeine can’t replace the fundamentals. Back to the basics with real food.
